We West Virginians never turn down a good reason for celebration, and we’ve got a fun, unique suggestion for where to host your next get-together: on a two-story pontoon boat complete with a waterslide at Sutton Lake!

Not far from Interstate 79 in central West Virginia is a long, serpentine body of water formed by the Elk River: Sutton Lake.

This gleaming West Virginia gem covers nearly 1500 acres and is surrounded by an additional 10,000 acres of secluded public forest, making it a quiet, private getaway in the heart of the state.
It's the perfect place to spend a relaxing day of fun in the sun...especially if you plan ahead and reserve a double-decker pontoon boat equipped with a waterslide or two.

These two-story floating playgrounds are a perfect way to celebrate whatever it is you're celebrating these days: a birthday, a long weekend, the end of lawn mowing season...no matter how big or small the occasion, a party at the lake is the way to go.

These decked pontoons provide plenty of room for your group to spread out, both on the main deck (in the shade) and on the upper deck (in the sun). And when it gets a little too hot on the boat, you can slide right on into the water... literally.
